I. INTRODUCTION On behalf of all landowners of TMK: (3) 6-5-007: 045 CPR 0001 & 0002,Dale Trefz ("applicant") is requesting the rezoning of the subject parcel from Agricultural-1 acre (A-1a) to Single Family Residential-15 (RS-15) with the intent to subdivide the land into two (2)TMK lots. The property is located at 65-13 10 Lihipali Road, approximately 230 feet from its intersection with Opelo Road within Waimea Homesteads (Figure 1). If approved, the applicant intends to subdivide the total 33,738 square feet into two (2)lots j consisting of roughly 18,237 square feet and 15,501 square feet in accordance with the land area of the existing Condominium Property Regime(CPR)units on the property (Figure 2). The subject property is one TMK lot which hosts two CPR units in accordance with the Declaration of Condominium Property Regime of Kamuela Heights recorded with the Bureau of Conveyances in 1988 (Exhibit A). Each CPR unit contains one (1) single- family dwelling. The proposed subdivision would be aligned so that each of the subdivided lots would contain one(1) of the existing single-family residences. The purpose of this request is to create two (2) independent TMK lots free from CPR restrictions. Although this project does not include any plans for development, both sets of landowners wish to separate any common interest in the property as ascribed by the CPR Declaration to ensure no limitations to their individual property rights and increase the marketability of their independent properties. Additionally,the administration requirements of the CPR Declaration are overly burdensome and unnecessary for a project of this size and each set of CPR owners would prefer to be independently responsible for the administration of their portion of the property. As the parcel totals 3 3,73 8 square feet and contains two(2) single-family residences,the proposed RS-I5 designation would be more desirable and logical than the current A-la zoning. The requested change of zone does not propose any further development of the property and has no anticipated impacts to any natural, cultural, historic, scenic or open space resources. Further, the proposed subdivision would not result in any change in density as each of the resulting parcels would already contain a single-family dwelling. Similar rezoning applications have been approved for nearby parcels within less than 0.5 miles of the property and thus approval of this change of zone request would be logical and in keeping with the surrounding land use. IL PROJECT LOCATION As noted earlier, the subject property is located off Lihipali Road, approximately 230 feet from its intersection with Opelo Road (Figure 1). The physical address for the parcel is 65-1310 Lihipali Road, Waimea Homesteads, South Kohala, Hawaii. Vehicular access to the property is from Lihipali Road. 3
